Time's A Bird

Our story always ends the same

No matter how many pages I turn

In the end

I’m the friend in need

And you’re the main character, always having to help me

I try to rip the pages out

I saw you today

For the first time in months

It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages

I used to hope

We stayed apart

Never faltering too close to one another

But as I look into your eyes

When I looked into your eyes

The memories came in waves

Drowning out all our flaws

For a moment

I forgot my resentment

And became yours again.
